SAFETY
INFORMATION
8 Before mounting or operating the out-
board motor, read this entire manual.
Reading it should give you an under-
standing of the motor and its operation.
8 Before operating the boat, read any
owners or operators manuals supplied
with it and all labels. Be sure you under-
stand each item before operating.
8 Do not overpower the boat with this out-
board motor. Overpowering the boat
could result in loss of control. The rated
power of the outboard should be equal
to or less than the rated horsepower
capacity of the boat. If the rated horse-
power capacity of the boat is unknown,
consult the dealer or boat manufacturer.
8 Do not modify the outboard. Modifica-
tions could make the motor unfit or
unsafe to use.
8 Never operate after drinking alcohol or
taking drugs. About 50% of all boating
fatalities involve intoxication.
8 Have an approved personal flotation
device (PFD) on board for every occu-
pant. It is a good idea to wear a PFD
whenever boating. At a minimum, chil-
dren and non-swimmers should always
wear PFDs, and everyone should wear
PFDs when there are potentially haz-
ardous boating conditions.
8 Gasoline (Petrol) is highly flammable,
and its vapors are flammable and explo-
sive. Handle and store gasoline (Petrol)
carefully. Make sure there are no gas
fumes or leaking fuel before starting the
engine.

8 This product emits exhaust gases which
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless gas which may cause brain
damage or death when inhaled. Symp-
toms include nausea, dizziness, and
drowsiness. Keep cockpit and cabin
areas well ventilated. Avoid blocking
exhaust outlets.
8 Check throttle, shift, and steering for
proper operation before starting the
engine.
8 Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to
a secure place on your clothing, or your
arm or leg while operating. If you acci-
dentally leave the helm, the lanyard will
pull from the switch, stopping the
engine.
8 Know the marine laws and regulations
where you will be boating - and obey
them.
8 Stay informed about the weather. Check
weather forecasts before boating. Avoid
boating in hazardous weather.
8 Tell someone where you are going:
leave a Float Plan with a responsible
person. Be sure to cancel the Float Plan
when you return.
8 Use common sense and good judgment
when boating. Know your abilities, and
be sure you understand how your boat
handles under the different boating con-
ditions you may encounter. Operate
within your limits, and the limits of your
boat. Always operate at safe speeds,
and keep a careful watch for obstacles
and other traffic.
8 Always watch carefully for swimmers
during the engine operation.
8 Stay away from swimming areas.
8 When a swimmer is in the water near
you shift into neutral and shut off the
engine.

FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
w
GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE HIGH-
LY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!
8 Do not smoke when refueling, and keep
away from sparks, flames, or other
sources of ignition.
8 Stop engine before refueling.
8 Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Refuel
portable fuel tanks off the boat.
8 Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso-
line spills, wipe it up immediately with
dry rags.
8 Do not overfill the fuel tank.
8 Tighten the filler cap securely after refu-
eling.
8 If you should swallow some gasoline
inhale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get
gasoline in your eyes, get immediate
medical attention.
8 If any gasoline spills onto your skin,
immediately wash with soap and water.
Change clothing if gasoline spills on it.
8 Touch the fuel nozzle to the filler open-
ing or funnel to help prevent electrosta-
tic sparks.
cC
Use only new clean gasoline which has
been stored in clean containers and is not
contaminated with water or foreign mat-
ter.

GASOLINE (PETROL)
Standard Model
Unleaded fuel will give you longer spark
plug life and reduced maintenance costs.
If unleaded gasoline is not available, then
leaded regular gasoline (petrol) can be
used.
If leaded gasoline (petrol) is usually used,
engine valves and related parts should be
inspected after every 100 hours of opera-
tion.

NOTE:
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a differ-
ent brand of gasoline (petrol) or premium
unleaded gasoline.

ENGINE OIL
Recommended engine oil:
4-stroke motor oil with a combination of
corresponding SAE and API as shown in

PROPELLER SELECTION
The performance of your outboard motor
will be critically affected by your choice of
propeller, as an incorrect choice could
adversely affect performance and could
also seriously damage the motor. Engine
speed depends on the propeller size and
boat load. If engine speed is too high or
too low for good engine performance, this
will have an adverse effect on the engine.
Yamaha outboard motors are fitted with
propellers chosen to perform well over a
range of applications, but there may be
uses where a propeller with a different
pitch would be more appropriate. For a
greater operating load, a smaller-pitch
propeller is more suitable as it enables the
correct engine speed to be maintained.
Conversely, a larger-pitch propeller is
more suitable for a smaller operating load.
Yamaha dealers stock a range of pro-
pellers, and can advise you and install a
propeller on your outboard that is best
suited to your application.

All 4-stroke engines are shipped from the
factory without engine oil.

START-IN-GEAR PROTECTION
Yamaha outboard motors which have the
pictured label 1 affixed to them or Yama-
ha approved remote control units are
equipped with start-in-gear protection
device(s). This feature permits the engine
to be started only when it is Neutral.
Always select Neutral before starting the
engine.

NOTE:
At full throttle and under a maximum boat
load, the engines rpm should be within
the upper half of the full throttle operating
range, as listed in SPECIFICATIONS on
page 4-1. Select a propeller which fulfills
this requirement.
If operating under conditions which allow
the engines rpm to rise above the maxi-
mum recommended range (such as light
boat loads), reduce the throttle setting to
maintain the rpm in the proper operating
range.
1 Propeller diameter (in inches)
2 Propeller pitch (in inches)
3 Type of propeller (propeller mark)
Refer to the section CHECKING PRO-
PELLER for instructions on propeller
removal and installation.

ENGINE STOP LANYARD SWITCH
(for Tiller control model)
The lock-plate on the end of the lanyard
must be attached to the engine stop
switch for the engine to run. The lanyard
should be attached to a secure place on
the operator’s clothing, or arm or leg.
Should the operator fall overboard or
leave the helm, the lanyard will pull out
the lock plate, stopping ignition to the
engine. This will prevent the boat from
running away under power.
w
8 Attach the engine stop switch lanyard
to a secure place on your clothing, your
arm or leg while operating.
8 Do not attach the lanyard to clothing
that could tear loose. Do not route the
lanyard in such a way that it could
become entangled, preventing it from
functioning.
8 Avoid accidentally pulling the lanyard
during normal operation. Loss of
engine power means the loss of most
steering control. Also, without engine
power, the boat could slow rapidly.
This could cause people and objects in
the boat to be thrown forward.
NOTE:
The engine cannot be started with the
lock-plate removed.
